If you are pregnant, or planning a pregnancy, do not let your teeth be forgotten in all of the baby excitement.

Pregnancy gingivitis is all too real and can lead to gum disease and potential problems for you and your baby.

Not only are regular dental check ups important, particularly during pregnancy, but due to morning sickness, reflux, heartburn and other pregnancy side effects, there are some key steps you can take to avoid pregnancy gingivitis and avoid tooth decay all together.

Though it was about time I provided you with an update on how I am progressing with my hub challenge, to publish 100 hubs in 100 days.

Today is 21st April 2012

Today is Day 35 of the challenge

Hubs Published = 41

I am slightly ahead of schedule which is a great feeling as it is not at all easy to find time to write with a baby and toddler at your heals all day.

Plus I am often finding myself struggling to come up with topics to write about.

That being said, having already won a HubNugget for my Letter Writing hub and having just been nominated again for a second HubNugget for my hub on Apples, I am feeling a spring in my step and hope to gain momentum for the next few weeks at least.

To scan through each of the 'Official Hubs' published just select 'An Official Hub' on the right of the screen. If you prefer to select a topic such as eBay, Health, Pregnancy and Babies or even Babushka Dolls, just click directly on the topic and you will be taken to the synopsis of each hub. Click through to HubPages to read the full stories.

Electric toothbrushes are fun. These days you can get them in almost all colors and, particularly for kids, they are even designed with their favourite character in mind.

Clever marketing hey?

But did you know that if you do not already use an electric toothbrush you should?

To find out all about the history of toothbrushes, the introduction of the electric toothbrush and its benefits on your teeth and gums, take a look at this hub all about the humble electric toothbrush!

If you have a daughter who just loves to have her nails polished, or you are pregnant and want to avoid chemicals in any way shape or form, it is time to get yourself some water based, wash off, non toxic nail polish.

Have a nail polish game at your daughter's next birthday party, set up a beautician table and with wash off nail polish there is no need to worry if it spills or makes a mess all over their skin.

Just wash away. No residue. No reactions.

If you are hosting a baby shower, treat the mum to be with a nail pamper - no chemicals in sight! Wash off nail polish is an incredible product. Take a look.

Just when you think you have understood all there is about fat, diets, what to eat, what not to eat and low G.I, comes this, a hub I stumbled upon giving us the lowdown on all things low G.I and how it is all a trick!

For my first child I used a number of different wraps to swaddle her at night. And almost every time she unwrapped herself. This obviously meant less sleep for everyone involved which was not a positive step.

Now with my newborn in tow, I can safely say that the SwaddleMe wrap WORKS.

It truly works. He never gets out of it. It is so simple and easy to use. It comes in so many great colours, fabrics and sizes that I love it and highly recommend it to any mum who wants more sleep!

A lovely email was sent to me today from HubPages. This one advised me that I was awarded with the Engaging Writer Accolade. This means that my hubs have been recognised for being worthy of reading! Nice one I say.

This is an excerpt from the email.

You have just been awarded the Engaging Writer Accolade on HubPages, which means that you are known for writing particularly interesting Hubs that visitors read from start to finish.

The attention span of online readers is astoundingly short, so managing to maintain visitors interest level reflects some real writing talent. Well done!

Just received an email from HubPages congratulating me on my milestone.

It read..."We just wanted to let you know that your Hubs have enjoyed 1,000 visits so far—quite an impressive milestone! Did you ever imagine that your Hubs would be read by more people than can fill a large university lecture hall? You should be proud of yourself for a job well done! Keep in mind that traffic can often grow for years after you publish a Hub, so expect that number to continue to grow."

If you want to read any or all of my Hubs on HubPages take a moment out to have a look.

Everything from Christmas stories, Halloween, Horrible Smells and even a Travel to New York Scratch and Sniff book.
Buying a scratch and sniff book for a toddler is a brilliant way to teach them all about how to read and also what something smells like. It is amazing.

This hub is one in a series of 3 which I have written about scratch and sniff.

Is this the original cell phone? Cell phone etiquette. Not a commonly discussed topic however one that is potentially growing in concern.

Almost everyone has a cell phone. Some people have two. The personal story inside this hub highlights the way our society has changed since the introduction of cell phones. Whilst it does make communications that much more speedy and efficient, it has resulted in people no longer talking anymore.
